Praia de Marbelo, Sand beach in Madalena, Portugal
Two streams frame this expansive sandy beach, with Ribeira de Canide to the north and Ribeira de Atiães marking its southern boundary point.
The beach stands within the jurisdiction of Capitania do Porto do Douro, which has overseen maritime activities in the Douro Litoral region for centuries.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices along the shore, while seasonal festivals like MEO Marés Vivas bring music performances to the area.
Visitors can access the beach through Rua do Cerro or Rua 25 de Abril, with lifeguard services operating from June 15 to September 15 each year.
The combination of coastal dunes and rock formations creates natural pools during low tide, offering protected areas for swimming away from strong currents.
